Hours before the Sky Force announcement, another major project from Maddock Films was revealed. Producer Dinesh Vijan and director Amar Kaushik, fresh off the success of Stree 2, will reunite to bring the epic tale of Chiranjeevi Parashurama to life in Mahavatar, starring Vicky Kaushal. Slated for a Christmas 2026 release, Mahavatar will explore the legendary figure of Parashurama, with Kaushal embodying the titular role.

This marks Vicky Kaushal’s third collaboration with Vijan, following Zara Hatke Zara Bachke and the upcoming Chhaava. With a screenplay by Niren Bhatt, Mahavatar aims to blend mythological grandeur with contemporary storytelling, a trend Kaushik has successfully established in his previous works.

Both Sky Force and Mahavatar signal Maddock Films’ ambitions to diversify its offerings, tapping into historical narratives and high-octane action while collaborating with leading talent. With these back-to-back announcements, Dinesh Vijan and Jio Studios are poised to dominate the release schedules of 2025 and 2026, giving audiences plenty to look forward to in the coming years.
